Altenburg's importance as a former residential and trading town is reflected in the extensive market square. Town and patrician houses from different eras blend harmoniously into one another and convey a southern flair. The structural dominant features are the centrally located town hall and the Brethren Church on the west side of the impressive square.

Altenburg's market square is a historic site with many sights. The Renaissance town hall is imposing, and the Brethren Church is a jewel on Altenburg's main market square.
